Sensors are the key to life and survival - and to the success of modern technology. Nature has provided living creatures with a wealth of sensors for a variety of measurands, such as light, sound, temperature, speed, motion, distance, force, pressure, acceleration, odor and so on - sensors, whose performance and specifications have often not been matched yet by man-made devices. Even at today's high level of electronics and information technology, sensors remain the crucial and decisive interface needed to reliably relate phenomena occurring in the environment to corresponding electric signals…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Sensors are the key to life and survival - and to the success of modern technology. Nature has provided living creatures with a wealth of sensors for a variety of measurands, such as light, sound, temperature, speed, motion, distance, force, pressure, acceleration, odor and so on - sensors, whose performance and specifications have often not been matched yet by man-made devices. Even at today's high level of electronics and information technology, sensors remain the crucial and decisive interface needed to reliably relate phenomena occurring in the environment to corresponding electric signals that can be processed to obtain the desired information and subsequent correct reaction of systems. Although the literature on sensors is extremely vast, there is one type of sensors which so far has received little attention: the piezoelectric sensor. Certainly, most handbooks on measurement mention briefly this type of sensor yet there is not a single book in the English language dedicated entirelyto piezoelectric sensors and giving a reasonably complete overview. There are only the books by [Gohlke 1955 and 1959] and [Tichy and Gautschi 1980], all in German.
Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"Piezoelectric Sensorics is the first book written in English to cover the entire field of piezoelectric sensors for mechanical measurands. It provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and describes the characteristics and practical applications for each type of sensor presented. ... This book is well written, technically informative and a pleasure to read. It provides extensive practical advice and clear coverage of the theory, making it suitable for students, scientists, technicians and engineers." (Sensor Review, Vol. 22 (4), 2002)

"This book covers the entire field of piezoelectric sensors for mechanical measurands. Scientists, engineers and technicians, as well as students in engineering will find in this book for the first time a complete overview of this special type of sensors. Extensive practical advice is given throughout the text allowing the reader to profit from author's many years of experience. ... numerous examples illustrate the vast range of practical applications." (ETDE Energy Database, October, 2002)
